HUNTINGTON — A trip to the computer repair shop landed a Huntington man behind bars, according to court records filed in Cabell County Magistrate Court.

Brad Maynard, 27, of Huntington was arrested Wednesday evening and incarcerated at the Western Regional Jail on a $50,000 bond.

Criminal complaints charge Maynard took his laptop computer to an 8th Avenue repair shop. The technician then discovered suspicious videos on the computer and alerted police.
